Help needed randomizing Textures for shooting range

[Dusty1Actual 2]

Hi there, Im in the middle of making a custom shooting range.

Im using this in the init of the "One meter User Texture" and im putting that over the "Target" objects :
this setObjectTexture [0, "target.jpg"]

 

Would there possibly be a way to randomize that texture to be one of say 6 jpeg files in the mission folder? My idea is to have a trigger set so that whenever it is activated, the textures on the targets change randomly. For example, the mission file would have multiple jpegs marked out as "target1.jpeg" "target2.jpeg" "hostage.jpeg" "target3.jpeg" and when the mission starts, each target randomly selects a jpeg to show.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

_textureArray = ["target1.jpeg","target2.jpeg","target3.jpeg"];

this setObjectTexture [0, selectRandom _textureArray ];

 

^that in the init-field of your targets and a slightly modified form of that (replace 'this' with the objects varname) in your trigger.

I've come up with an issue where on mission start a pop up states that "target2.jpeg" was not found, Though I am sure it is in the mission folder where all the others are, none of them seem to work with the random script.

Hello there guys !

 

sorry but check above the extension of the file.

 

It' s always better to use (in game) the .paa format images
